Sunburst Shutters Company History: How We Brought Custom Shutters to Cincinnati

Sunburst Shutters was started in the early '70s in Phoenix, AZ, by people who thought they could make a better shutter than any other on the market.

The ambition to be the best shutter company has turned every aspect of the window treatment business on its head. Sunburst started offering an in-home consultation where design specialists brought samples into a customer’s house to walk them through choosing the best window treatment product. On top of that, Sunburst set out to hire sales staff that were courteous and friendly – and, at the same time, knowledgeable and helpful. Homeowners across the US quickly fell in love with Sunburst Shutters.

In the '70s, draperies and blinds were the usual window treatments in most homes. That’s when Sunburst Shutters gave consumers a longer lasting and energy-efficient window treatment: plantation shutters. 

At the beginning, the company offered wood shutters exclusively. But it was instantly obvious that Sunburst should create the ultimate shutter – one that provides premium energy efficiency, and looks as charming 20 years from now as the day you purchased it. After much research, sampling, and testing, Sunburst revealed its Polywood Shutters. 

Once Sunburst offered the best shutters on the market, they grew extensively, opening locations across the country. In 2008, Sunburst Shutters extended its offerings into blinds, shades, draperies, and window film – and changed its name to Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions.

Now, Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions offers any treatment for any size or shape of window – all custom-built and professionally installed. With 2,000+ window treatment choices and options, Sunburst is the absolute source of window treatment products in America.
